A homeless man hailed as a hero for coming to the aid of victims of the Manchester Arena terror attack in May was due in court on Wednesday charged with stealing a bank card from one of them.

Chris Parker, 33, was interviewed by British media in the aftermath of the attack in which 22 people were killed, saying he had been begging outside the concert arena when the bomb went off.

Manchester Arena producers said on Wednesday they would re-open on September 9 for the first time since the attack with a charity concert that will include Noel Gallagher from the Manchester band Oasis.
